Do not make residing on land without consent in or with a vehicle an offence

Petition Details

Provisions in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill would make residing on public or private land without consent in or with a vehicle a criminal offence punishable by removal of vehicles. We believe this puts the already vulnerable travelling communities at risk.

Additional Information

We believe Travellers who need to travel to find work could be unfairly targeted by these provisions. The confiscation of vehicles could make many members of the Travelling community homeless as they live in their vehicles.
